Coffee Pickers

Today's picture shows people picking coffee beans. The picture is from the early 1900's, and it was taken in Brazil. I wonder how coffee is picked today . . . is it still picked by people on ladders with bags on their shoulders?

It alls has made me wonder jow certain food cane to be used.Did it go some thing like this. I saw Igor eat those berries and he didn't die, so let try them also.You know that cranbrries are quit bitter until you add some sugar, so why would you eat them again.

Myrtle, I got that name 30 years ago or even more. It was when video games first started to come out. My kids talked me into playing a game and I got high score on it. I was going to walk away, but the kids pressured me into signing my name. So I went to put down "DAD", but that was already taken, so I signed in with "DADD". Now my kids know if they see DADD I was there.A long story for some thing so simple. By the wasy the wind has picked up again, but not as bad as the last two days.DADD formally RTD

Sorry, used Google to translate and thought you all might also be interested... There were some errors on first translation.

Hello, I am Brazilian and here already planted a lot of coffee, now there are few plantations. In large plantations to use the combine, but there still is harvested in this way. As a child went to the coffee harvest, which was harvested after the sun to dry, then crushed in a mortar, roasted and then ground. Miss this great time of my life.

About Me

I grew up in West Texas, and could not wait to get away. I got away, and went to the University of Texas, and then on to Stanford. I saw the world, and decided what I really wanted was to be in West Texas. So here I am, right back where I started. I had it all, and found it was not that great.

I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30
years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected
over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at
flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain
images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We
appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.
